Goodman GKS9 Installation Instructions Manual page 25

•
Install a 1/8" NPT pipe plug fitting, accessible for test gage
connection, immediately upstream of the gas supply
connection to the furnace.
•
Always use a back-up wrench when making the connection
to the gas valve to keep it from turning. The orientation of the
gas valve on the manifold must be maintained as shipped
from the factory. Maximum torque for the gas valve connection
is 375 in-lbs; excessive over-tightening may damage the
gas valve.
•
Install a manual shutoff valve between the gas meter and
unit within six feet of the unit. If a union is installed, the union
must be downstream of the manual shutoff valve, between
the shutoff valve and the furnace.
•
Tighten all joints securely.
•
Connect the furnace to the building piping by one of the
following methods:
–
Rigid metallic pipe and fittings.
–
Semi-rigid metallic tubing and metallic fittings.
Aluminum alloy tubing must not be used in exterior
locations. In order to seal the grommet cabinet
penetration, rigid pipe must be used to reach the
outside of the cabinet. A semi-rigid connector to the
gas piping may be used from there.
•
Use listed gas appliance connectors in accordance with
their instructions. Connectors must be fully in the same
room as the furnace.
•
Protect connectors and semirigid tubing against physical
and thermal damage when installed. Ensure aluminum-
alloy tubing and connectors are coated to protect against
external corrosion when in contact with masonry, plaster, or
insulation, or subjected to repeated wetting by liquids such
as water (except rain water), detergents, or sewage.

IRECT TANDARD NLET
When gas piping enters directly to the gas valve through the stan-
dard inlet hole, the installer must supply straight pipe with a ground
joint union to reach the exterior of the furnace. The rigid pipe must
be long enough to reach the outside of the cabinet to seal the
grommet cabinet penetration. A semi-rigid connector to the gas
piping can be used outside the cabinet per local codes.

NDIRECT LTERNATE NLET
When gas piping enters indirectly to the gas valve through the
alternate gas inlet hole the following 1/2 inch pipe fittings (starting
from the gas valve) to reach the outside of the cabinet must be
supplied:
•
1 - 90 degree street elbow.
•
1 - 2-1/2 inch pipe nipple.
•
1 - 90 degree elbow.
•
1 - Straight pipe
The straight pipe must be long enough to reach the outside
of the cabinet so as to seal the grommet cabinet penetration
and to install the ground joint union outside of the cabinet. A
semi-rigid connector to the gas piping can be used outside
the cabinet per local codes.
